AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[dogma77]

Well Super Pi can simulate crappy 1 core engine of World of Warcraft . It's as old as WoW
Shame that Cyberlik Power director that ui use almost weekly to render for 30 hours over weekend has no benchmark option so I need 2 Benchmark that myself. Rendering time vs Rendering time.

Finally found case i like

lian li pc-011?

 

[psychas]

the lowest rez i play is 1920x1440 streched on cs:go

Looks like 9900k is better in games maybe? Still has great performance.

According to the table the K5 is a yes for a 3900x at stock and a "maybe" for OC. Confused me initially until I worked out the rows at the top (had a mental blank).

apologies, you're right. must have had the same mental blank! lol​

WoW had an engine update to make better use of multiple cores a while ago. Not that SuperPi was a good indicator of performance in WoW anyway....

its the PCMR case

@Sin_Chase well we see how it goes with classic. Got 3 weeks booked of work to play 15 hours a day every day like in the good times.

Wouldn't put much stock in the leaked results, been a lot of of discussion about this on previous pages.

Whether it beats the 9900K or not, I'm pretty much set on a 3600X or 3700X. Considering what I'm upgrading from, it will be night and day either way.

Spoiler: VRM Tier list (updated)

Just as a slight warning, I just checked the CPU support list for the asrock b450 Pro 4, and it's got the 3800x but, notably, not the 3900x. Might be an oversight, but might also be that not all the CPUs actually work on all the boards even if they have VRMs that should be able to cope.

Also from the few 400 series boards I've checked, none list the cheap A series APUs as supported, so anyone thinking of grabbing one of those for a cheeky bios update might want to hold fire & let someone else be the guinea pig.

Those are the results at 720p that have been discussed for pages. They are basically worthless for real world results.

On a more positive note, a browse of the MSI forums shows that x470 boards are now leaving their factory with Zen 2 compatible bios, but they don't seem to have filtered through to retail yet - so waiting a few weeks might also work.

 

[zx128k]

720p is just to test the cpu without the gpu bottleneck at higher gpu loads and is a completely valid way to test a cpu. AMD could be slower because of frequency but ryzen 3000 could overclock well hopefully. The thing is that the clock speed is lower but performance is still good in games. If they overclock its lol for intel.

Thanks for that post.

The CPU support list shows my x370 Taichi will suport the 3950x WooHoo!

 

[modd1uk]

In my mind (assuming it works, and works well enough), something like a B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC or the cheaper B450 Tomahawk paired with a 3600/3600x should be a solid little combo, we don't need PCIe 4.0 yet. And I can't imagine the performance difference between a decent B450 board and a decent X570 board will justify the extra £££ for the motherboard which could be spent elsewhere. If you can save £100 on a motherboard that can go towards a better GPU.

i would be very suprised if the top x370 and x470 did not suport the 3950x
i get that the vrm was not allways the best be we are all just guessing how much more the 3900x and 3950x will stress them. My own personal view i think the vrm on x570 is over kill and the better x370/x470 and b450 will be perfect platforms for amd best cpu

if amd was majorly concerned on x370/x470 not being able to handle the extra cores on the new cpu they would have made a whole new socket am4+ or something and compltly locked off the older motherboards for ryzen 9 and make the 3900/3950 as requiring x570

Hello there, long time lurker here, but now I had to register, just to ask you all this:

why are you guys still arguing about total nonsense with this Zeed guy? Just let him play super mario pi @ 720p and problem solved

Hi, hopefully someone can help me find something out.

I've been trying to find a 300/400 series motherboard with a memory controller that can handle DDR4 3600 Mhz RAM or higher, ideally for £100 or less.

If so, what is the name / model number please?

Otherwise, I think I will stick with 3400Mhz RAM.

I've been thinking x570 would be a good option if getting 4000Mhz or higher RAM, as older AM4 motherboards can't support it.

The memory controller is on the CPU.

This sub forum attracts CPU fanatics and we’re on the cusp of a highly anticipated product release. There is no meaningful reason, it’s just people passing the time until reviews hit. At which point it’ll most likely be completely forgotten about.
